This pressure washer provides 4 gallons per minute at 4000 psi. So if you were running at full pressure, you would have approximately 50 minutes of continuous washing on one full tank of water. It is possible to hook this unit up to a hose from an external water source for unlimited continuous use.

This NorthStar Hot Water Pressure Washer will have the water heated to 210 degrees in a matter of seconds. You may, when you first turn it on have some cold water, but almost instantaneously you will have water at 210 degrees.

answer 2

As soon as the water goes through the heater it is heated. I would say around 8 seconds to travel through the hose to the gun!

Question

how do you lower the pressure, by lowering motor rpms, nozzles or is their an adjustment on this unit somewhere, thx...

Typically by the red knob on the side of the pump but lowering the motor rpms will decrease the pressure. I would not recommend this procedure to operate.

answer 2

You can adjust the pressure on this NorthStar Pressure Washer by tightening or loosening the unloader valve found on the pump. You can also adjust by using different nozzle with a wider spray pattern for lower pressure, or narrower for higher pressure. The pump is designed to run only when the engine RPM at full throttle, and should never be run at lower RPM.

Our NorthStar Pressure Washer comes crated and will only need the tongue of the trailer installed along with the jack stand.

answer 2

The washer/trailer is shipped via freight. It comes with a light weight steel frame around the entire unit with the trailer tongue and tool box unattached. It took me about 45 minutes to an hour to unpack and assemble (using air tools)

You will need a raised loading dock and forklift (with 48") forks to unload.

At 4000 psi, the NorthStar Pressure Washer would drop slightly in volume to about 3.7 or 3.8 GPM. When the pressure is lowered a few hundred psi, you will get the full 4 GPM volume.

Question

Tongue weight?

Placement of the tank towards the from of the trailer concerns me. I know it makes the pump very accessible, but it must affect the drive to have the bulk of the weight placed on the tongue, right? Do you know the tongue weight vs. gvw?
